FAMS 362 American Cinema of the 1970s
Called a “Decade Under the Influence,” and the “Last Golden Era of American Film,” the 1970s were a cultural pivot point and an astonishingly rich extended moment in the history of American Cinema. This course examines important American films of the 1970s and the cultural contexts from which they emerged. Through regular readings, writings, discussions and screenings, students will learn to treat films as complex texts and to interpret cinema as a potent cultural force. As a writing-intensive course, students will participate in draft revision workshops and ultimately produce a portfolio of revised “finished” writing. [W]
